Rant: Can't we stick to standards ?

Lack of standards
One supports one thing and the other doesn't. Can't we stick to standards ?

go ahead and rewrite IE so it supports all standard CSS, then we'll all be happy.

Firefox probably does it right.
Thank MS.

What's the code look like?

IE shouldn't cover up sorry ass programming :|

That didn't work too well. The Page

I never use CSS. So, what should be different, so that it will be proper?

 

[Ornery]

Oh cool:

• Current browsers do not have complete CSS support. And that is what makes it a big issue. If you follow the "rules" for CSS strictly, you can be sure that your page will not appear as you had planned in any browser.

Guess I'll skip CSS for a while longer...

These kinds of problems exist in every implementation of a standard, from ANSI C to CSS. It's not even always intentional, because often times the standards evolve so quickly that implementors aren't with the necessary time required to implement them; worse still, the standards sometimes remain ambiguous, so the implementation of certain facets of the standard remain both correct and somehow inconsistent at the same time.

If you choose to function as a developer, it's just part of the game; deal with it.
